6.0 FINDINGS6.0 FINDINGS
6.3.1 Issue Identification Each security issue identified by Cynergi is described with the finding, the impact of the issue, how
easy it would be for an attacker to exploit the issue and a recommendation. Each security issue is
rated based on a number of factors, each of these are described in the following sections.
6.3.1 Issue Finding
The issue finding describes what configuration setting we identified that potentially poses a security
threat. In addition to the finding details, any relevant background information is also described.
6.3.2. Issue Impact
The impact section describes what an attacker could gain from exploiting the security issue. The
impact of an issue is often defined by other configuration settings that could heighten the issue or
partially mitigate it. The impact is rated depending on the significance of the security threat.
RatingRating Description
CriticalCritical These issues can pose a very significant security threat. The issues that have a critical impact are typically those that would allow an attacker to gain full
administrative access to the device. For a firewall device, allowing all traffic to pass
through the device unfiltered would receive this rating as filtering traffic to protect
other devices is the primary purpose of a firewall.
HighHigh These issues pose a significant threat to security, but have some limitations on the extent to which they can be abused. User level access to a device and a DoS
vulnerability in a critical service would fall into this category. A firewall deivce that
allowed significant unfiltered access, such as allowing entire subnets through or not
filtering in all directions, would fall into this category. A router that allows significant
modification of its routing configuration would also fall into this category.
MediumMedium These issues have significant limitations on the direct impact they can cause. Typically these issues would include significant information leakage issues, denial of
service issues or those that provide significantly limited access. A SNMP service that
Security Assessment Report for eClipse Bank PLC Private & ConfidentialSecurity Assessment Report for eClipse Bank PLC Private & Confidential 2222
is secured with default or a dictionary based community string would typically fall into
this rating, as would a firewall that allows unfiltered access to a range of services on a
device.
LowLow These issues represent a low level security threat. A typical issue would involve information leakage that could be useful to an attacker, such as a list of users or
version details. A non-firewall device that was configured with weak network filtering
would fall into this category.
Table 6.1: Impact ratings
6.3.3. Issue Ease The ease section of each issue describes the knowledge, skill and physical access that would be
required of an attacker in order to exploit it. The ease will describe if open source or commercially
available tools are required for an attacker to exploit an issue. Additionally, the ease will note where an
extended period of time is required to exploit the issue, such as cracking weak encryption ciphers.
Each issue is rated upon how easily it can be exploited, the ratings are described in Table 6.2
Rating Rating Description
TrivialTrivial The issue requires little-to-no knowledge on behalf of an attacker and can be exploited using standard operating system tools. A firewall device which had a network filtering
configuration that enables traffic to pass through would fall into this category.
EasyEasy The issue requires some knowledge for an attacker to exploit, which could be performed using standard operating system tools or tools downloaded from the
Internet. An administrative service without or with a default password would fall into
this category, as would a simple software vulnerability exploit.
ModerateModerate The issue requires specific knowledge on behalf of an attacker. The issue could be exploited using a combination of operating system tools or publicly available tools
downloaded from the Internet.
ChallengeChallenge A security issue that falls into this category would require significant effort and knowledge on behalf of the attacker. The attacker may require specific physical
access to resources or to the network infrastructure in order to successfully exploit it.
Furthermore, a combination of attacks may be required.
N/AN/A The issue is not directly exploitable. An issue such as enabling legacy protocols or unnecessary services would fall into this rating category.
Table 6.2: Ease ratings
Security Assessment Report for eClipse Bank PLC Private & ConfidentialSecurity Assessment Report for eClipse Bank PLC Private & Confidential 2323
6.3.4. Issue Recommendation
Each issue includes a recommendation section which describes what steps Cynergi recommends
should be taken in order to mitigate the issue. The recommendation will sometimes include various
options, if several mitigating choices are available, and any relevant system commands.
Directly following the recommendation, the issue dependencies and other relevant issues are
referenced. The dependency issues are those that when mitigated will eliminate the described issue.
For example, if the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is disabled it no longer matters if a
view has not been configured. The relevant issues are ones that can affect the impact or the ease that
the issue can be exploited.
The recommendation includes a rating that indicates how easy an issue is to resolve, these are
described in Table 6.3.
Rating Rating Description
InvolvedInvolved The resolution of the issue will require significant resources to resolve and is likely to include disruption to network services, and possibly the modification of other network
device configurations. The issue could involve upgrading the Cisco PIX Security
Appliance OS and possibly modifications to the hardware.
PlannedPlanned The issue resolution involves planning, testing and could cause some disruption to services. This issue could involve changes to routing protocols and changes to
network filtering.
QuickQuick The issue is quick to resolve. Typically this would just involve changing a small number of settings and would have little-to-no effect on network services.

Security Assessment Report for eClipse Bank PLC Private & ConfidentialSecurity Assessment Report for eClipse Bank PLC Private & Confidential 3131
Reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities arise when data is copied from a request and echoed into the application's immediate response in an unsafe way. An attacker can use the vulnerability to construct a request which, if issued by another application user, will cause JavaScript code supplied by the attacker to execute within the user's browser in the context of that user's session with the application.
The attacker-supplied code can perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials, performing arbitrary actions on the victim's behalf, and logging their keystrokes.
Users can be induced to issue the attacker's crafted request in various ways. For example, the attacker can send a victim a link containing a malicious URL in an email or instant message. They can submit the link to popular web sites that allow content authoring, for example in blog comments. And they can create an innocuous looking web site which causes anyone viewing it to make arbitrary cross-domain requests to the vulnerable application (using either the GET or the POST method).
The security impact of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities is dependent upon the nature of the vulnerable application, the kinds of data and functionality which it contains, and the other applications which belong to the same domain and organisation. If the application is used only to display non-sensitive public content, with no authentication or access control functionality, then a cross-site scripting flaw may be considered low risk. However, if the same
High In most situations where user-controllable data is copied into application responses, cross-site scripting attacks can be prevented using two layers of defenses:
Input should be validated as strictly as possible on arrival, given the kind of content which it is expected to contain. For example, personal names should consist of alphabetical and a small range of typographical characters, and be relatively short; a year of birth should consist of exactly four numerals; email addresses should match a well-defined regular expression. Input which fails the validation should be rejected, not sanitised.
User input should be HTML-encoded at any point where it is copied into application responses. All HTML metacharacters, including < > " ' and =, should be replaced with the corresponding HTML entities (< > etc).
In cases where the application's functionality allows users to author content using a restricted subset of HTML tags and attributes (for example, blog comments which allow limited formatting and linking), it is necessary to parse the supplied HTML to validate that it does not use any dangerous syntax; this is a non-trivial task.
application resides on a domain which can access cookies for other more security-critical applications, then the vulnerability could be used to attack those other applications, and so may be considered high risk. Similarly, if the organisation which owns the application is a likely target for phishing attacks, then the vulnerability could be leveraged to lend credibility to such attacks, by injecting Trojan functionality into the vulnerable application, and exploiting users' trust in the organisation in order to capture credentials for other applications which it owns. In many kinds of application, such as those providing online banking functionality, cross-site scripting should always be considered high risk.
SSL cookie without secure flag set
The following cookie was issued by the application and does not have the secure flag set:
PHPSESSID=dd06vet836kdto8 cvmvqmlo8d2; path=/
The cookie appears to contain a session token, which may increase the risk associated with this issue. You should review the contents of the cookie to determine its function.
If the secure flag is set on a cookie, then browsers will not submit the cookie in any requests that use an unencrypted HTTP connection, thereby preventing the cookie from being trivially intercepted by an attacker monitoring network traffic. If the secure flag is not set, then the cookie will be transmitted in clear-text if the user visits any HTTP URLs within the cookie's scope.
An attacker may be able to induce this event by feeding a user suitable links, either directly or via another web site. Even if the domain which issued the cookie does not host any content that is accessed over HTTP, an attacker may be able to use links of the form http://eclipsebank.cxm:443/ to perform the same attack
Medium The secure flag should be set on all cookies that are used for transmitting sensitive data when accessing content over HTTPS. If cookies are used to transmit session tokens, then areas of the application that are accessed over HTTPS should employ their own session handling mechanism, and the session tokens used should never be transmitted over unencrypted communications.
Cookie without HttpOnly flag set
The following cookie was issued by the application and does not have the HttpOnly flag set:
PHPSESSID=dd06vet836kdto8 cvmvqmlo8d2; path=/
If the HttpOnly attribute is set on a cookie, then the cookie's value cannot be read or set by client-side JavaScript.
This measure can prevent certain client-side attacks, such as cross-site scripting, from trivially capturing the cookie's value via an injected script.
Low There is usually no good reason not to set the HttpOnly flag on all cookies. Unless you specifically require legitimate client-side scripts within your application to read or set a cookie's value, you should set the HttpOnly flag by including this attribute within the relevant Set-cookie directive.
You should be aware that the restrictions imposed by the HttpOnly flag can potentially

be circumvented in some circumstances, and that numerous other serious attacks can be delivered by client-side script injection, aside from simple cookie stealing.

The form contains the following password field with autocomplete enabled:
passwd2
Most browsers have a facility to remember user credentials that are entered into HTML forms. This function can be configured by the user and also by applications which employ user credentials. If the function is enabled, then credentials entered by the user are stored on their local computer and retrieved by the browser on future visits to the same application.
The stored credentials can be captured by an attacker who gains access to the computer, either locally or through some remote compromise. Further, methods have existed whereby a malicious web site can retrieve the stored credentials for other applications, by exploiting browser vulnerabilities or through application- level cross-domain attacks.
Low To prevent browsers from storing credentials entered into HTML forms, you should include the attribute autocomplete="off" within the FORM tag (to protect all form fields) or within the relevant INPUT tags (to protect specific individual fields).
Cross-domain script include
The response dynamically includes the following script from another domain:
When an application includes a script from an external domain, this script is executed by the browser within the security context of the invoking application. The script can therefore do anything that the application's own scripts can do, such as accessing application data and performing actions within the context of the current user.
If you include a script from an external domain, then you are trusting that domain with the data and functionality of your application, and you are trusting the domain's own security to prevent an attacker from modifying the script to perform malicious actions within your application.
Low Scripts should not be included from untrusted domains. If you have a requirement which a third-party script appears to fulfil, then you should ideally copy the contents of that script onto your own domain and include it from there. If that is not possible (e.g. for licensing reasons) then you should consider reimplementing the script's functionality within your own code.
TRACE method is enabled The TRACE method is designed for diagnostic purposes. If enabled, the web server will respond to requests which use the TRACE method by echoing in its response the exact request which was recieved.
Low The TRACE method should be disabled on the web server.
Although this behaviour is apparently harmless in itself, it can sometimes be leveraged to support attacks against other application users. If an attacker can find a way of causing a user to make a TRACE request, and can retrieve the response to that request, then the attacker will be able to capture any sensitive data which is included in the request by the user's browser, for example session cookies or credentials for platform- level authentication. This may exacerbate the impact of other vulnerabil
Email addresses disclosed
There are 2 instances of this issue:
• /functions.php • /welcome.php
The presence of email addresses within application responses does not necessarily constitute a security vulnerability. Email addresses may appear intentionally within contact information, and many applications (such as web mail) include arbitrary third-party email addresses within their core content.
However, email addresses of developers and other individuals (whether appearing on-screen or hidden within page source) may disclose information that is useful to an attacker; for example, they may represent usernames that can be used at the application's login, and they may be used in social engineering attacks against the organisation's personnel. Unnecessary or excessive disclosure of email addresses may also lead to an increase in the volume of spam email received.
Low You should review the email addresses being disclosed by the application, and consider removing any that are unnecessary,
Unless directed otherwise, browsers may store a local cached copy of content received from web servers. Some browsers, including Internet Explorer, cache content accessed via HTTPS. If sensitive information in application responses is stored in the local cache, then this may be retrieved by other users who have access to the same computer at a future time.
Low The application should return caching directives instructing browsers not to store local copies of any sensitive data. Often, this can be achieved by configuring the web server to prevent caching for relevant paths within the web root. Alternatively, most web development platforms allow you to control the server's caching directives from within individual scripts. Ideally, the web server should return the following HTTP headers in all responses containing sensitive content:
• Cache-control: no-store • Pragma: no-cache

There are 2 instances of this issue:
• /ft_own.php • /ft_third.php
If a web response specifies an incorrect content type, then browsers may process the response in unexpected ways. If the specified content type is a renderable text-based format, then the browser will usually attempt to parse and render the response in that format. If the specified type is an image format, then the browser will usually detect the anomaly and will analyse the actual content and attempt to determine its MIME type. Either case can lead to unexpected results, and if the content contains any user-controllable data may lead to cross-site scripting or other client-side vulnerabilities.
In most cases, the presence of an incorrect content type statement does not constitute a security flaw, particularly if the response contains static content. You should review the contents of the response and the context in which it appears to determine whether any vulnerability exists.
Low For every response containing a message body, the application should include a single Content-type header which correctly and unambiguously states the MIME type of the content in the response body.
